Christmas Story Page 8

Well this is where the fun starts! lol I could have just had seven more pages of orgy scenes or something I suppose but I was enjoying stretching the idea of mind games further so from tomorrow the story goes a little bit more down the Inception avenue. Just for fun, in this top panel are refs to four films which I included to add to the surreal quality of Sarah's dream. Can you name the films? ;)

DV: Lol Yes that guy in the red robe was done in a moment of frustration. I didn't want to draw a typical sort of decadent club scene with people walking about in bondage gear etc and as it is fantasy I though a touch of 'Eyes Wide Shut' might give the place a slightly creepy but kinky edge too.

Liz: Yes, you got all three of them except Casablanca which DV nicely spotted. I didn't know there was a film called Cloud Nine so that's a surprise, I just wanted some suggestive ideas about what sort of club Sarah might be fantasising about. This is quite a mind bending trip as well so I had a lot of fun both writing and drawing it. I would love to have put more ideas into that top panel but I was pushed for time.

Okay, who's the creepy guy in the red robe pawing over Marylin Monroe? And is that Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca looking at the red derriere? Pretty sure the bartender and the two in front of Ms Monroe are important as well, just not sure who they are

Gotta say, I'm absolutely loving this whole thing. It's one trip after another. First she's dreaming, then she's Nikki's imagination, now she's taken over for Nikki...don't let anyone say otherwise, sometimes Lucid Dreams can seem to go on forever. I've had some doozies. X.x But where could she be going? I wonder if she's going to hook up with any of her friends. Leo, Janey, Gerry, Stacey...someone is bound to make an appearance soon. XD Maybe it'll go in a Coraline-like direction and we'll see May...in a burlesque act?! XD Looking forward to the next page with overly-baited breath, Sky. :) ~Liz

Star Wars, The Shining, The Matrix, and Cloud 9 are the movie references I can make out, that is assuming, of course, that 'Cloud Nine Club' refers to the movie Cloud 9, and that Temet Nosce is referring to The Matrix. Hard to mistake the other two though. >.> RED RUM!
